This “drought” is getting on my nerves we can only water our garden at night and some people are showering with a bucket to save water.

I thought you may be intersted in our current water levels. We have 30% of the water in our damns right now at current rates I estimate (assuming no increase in capacity). Melbourne will be out of water in 5 years.

Intersting..

Also Looks like we are not doing ourselves any fa

Meanwhile the catchment areas are being logged this movie is about that

This covers the whole thing

Below is a short film about reflex – a company that makes paper (using Melbournes water catchments

I have managed to make a bit of progress on my tax returns today despite being really rough. However most of the day I have just mooched around. I did however spend a bit more time looking into the Melbourne Shuffle.(SEE MELBOURNE SHUFFLE ENTRY IN WIKIPEADIA)

Being not from round these parts (I am from the UK) I have found it all rather curious. below are a couple is a video I have decided that I will learn some moves and put a video on myspace.com/jimmyyukka when I have it sorted. (I wonder if I can do a rave song with a guitar and drums ….hmmmm?)

I bloody hate that no-one ever takes time off with a cold anymore it just devalues how horrible flu can be. Anyway because I have been bored I sent off a few emails that I have been meaning to do for ages and one of my friends sent me back a message that she didn’t really know what I am up to at the moment so I though I would take this time to take stock and explain how I am doing in m various activities

I was bored in bed this morning.

Do you know Melbourne has a dance? I am going to learn it – when I get better.

1. Improving my personal efficiency with David Allen’s book “Getting Things Done” . I have my GTD system fully implemented for home and work and I am pretty impressed. I have never been so productive!

On Friday I just put a spiral bound note book by my bed so I can write ideas as they come to me. This has been really handy recently as I have had a bit of trouble sleeping and had some good ideas in my rather sick haze of the night.

2. Continuing with my Memory club – Me and another nice chap from Melbourne are meeting every fortnight to learn advanced memory techniques. Currently I trying to use these to memorize a child’s book.

3. Continuing with my Finance club – I will be presenting my implimentation of David Allen’s “Getting Things Done”

4. Hoping to start a new club with a friend based on the 4 hour work week by Tim Ferris. (a book about outsourcing and having the perfect lifestyle by a very bright guy).I was on youtube the other day and found Tim Ferris he’s all over it.

5. Setting up a DIY super fund with a friend of mine (it is now established we just need to roll it over and start buying shares). (See my other blog Blog)

6. Jimmy Yukka and his Amazing Bandbeen working on some plans and have a few extra acts that have expressed an enthusiasm to work with us. We are trying to have a band meeting tomorrow where we can make some plans for world domination. I have lots of ideas.

Whist on holiday I read “Getting things Done” by David Allen. I have been wishing to read it for a while as it is mentioned a great deal on my productivity podcast “The productivity show” on TPN . I read it on my holiday.

Knowledge is power only if it enables action

Life is a journey through self discovery. Knowledge is power only if it enables action, Action is is only powerful if it is congruent with your values. Values are only valuable if they are questioned.

Ten years ago I decided to start to take back control of the financial decisions in my life, to stop listening to opinions of "experts" to understand the issues so I can make plans and strategies of my own.
My interest in economics lead me to conclude that over the next decade there is to be a significant shift in worldwide economic power. Over the last few years I have been making and acting on plans to mitigate the impact of this occurrence.
Over this time I have become increasingly passionate about activities that can increase personal liberty and self reliance including subjects such as internet technologies, food production, personal energy production and general preparedness.
To help me understand the issues and act on my plans I have had to improve my skills of critical thinking, research and productivity. I use the "Trivium Method" to help me separate fact from fiction and gain actionable knowledge (wisdom). I use the "getting things done method to help increase my capability to put this knowlege into action.
